WaveOne Gold represents the latest advancement in reciprocating endodontic technology, developed by Dentsply Sirona Endodontics in collaboration with leading endodontic experts. As the successor to the original WaveOne system, it retains the proven philosophy of simplicity while incorporating advanced design enhancements that improve efficiency, safety, and clinical confidence.
As part of Dentsply Sirona’s “Choose Your Endo Solution” concept—alongside ProTaper Next for continuous rotation—WaveOne Gold provides a comprehensive and reliable solution for root canal preparation.
Key Features
- Single-File Simplicity – Primary file size suitable for approximately 80% of root canals, reducing procedural complexity.
- Reciprocating Motion Technology – Maintains the trusted WaveOne reciprocation movement for efficient and safe canal preparation.
- Compatibility – Works with XS+ and iQ WaveOne motor settings.
- Single-Patient Use – Equipped with an anti-sterilization ABS ring to ensure safety and prevent cross-contamination.
- Complete Endodontic Solution – Includes dedicated obturation products with variable tapered gutta-percha points designed to precisely match canals prepared with WaveOne Gold files.
Advanced Design Advantages
- Gold Heat Treatment – Enhances flexibility and resistance to cyclic fatigue.
- Optimized Reciprocating Motion – Reduces stress on the file and improves cutting efficiency.
- Variable Taper Design – Allows better canal shaping and debris removal.
- Evolving Cross-Section – Improves cutting performance and minimizes binding.
- Optimized Tip Design – Ensures smooth canal progression while maintaining original canal anatomy.
Engineered for precision, safety, and efficiency, WaveOne Gold provides predictable shaping performance and improved clinical outcomes, making it an ideal choice for modern endodontic procedures.
Directions for Use
1. Pre-Operative Assessment
- Review preoperative radiographs to evaluate the width, length, and curvature of the root canal.
- Establish appropriate treatment planning based on canal anatomy.
2. Access Preparation
- Create straight-line access to the canal orifice(s).
- Ensure proper shaping of the internal axial walls for unobstructed file insertion.
- Establish straight-line coronal and radicular access.
3. Initial Canal Exploration
- Use a size 010 hand file with lubricant to explore the canal.
- Determine the working length using a preoperative radiograph and/or apex locator.
- Irrigate the canal thoroughly.
4. Glide Path Preparation
- Verify a smooth glide path to working length using a size 010 hand file.
- Expand the glide path to at least 0.15 mm using a manual or mechanical glide path file.
- Passively advance the WaveOne® Gold Glider file with gentle inward pressure until full working length is reached.
- Irrigate the expanded glide path, recapitulate with a size 010 hand file, and re-irrigate.
- Confirm working length before proceeding to shaping.
5. Shaping Procedure
- Always begin shaping with the PRIMARY WaveOne® Gold file (025/07 Red) in the presence of sodium hypochlorite.
- Allow the file to progress passively along a smooth glide path using gentle inward pecking motion with short amplitude strokes.
- Shape 2–3 mm at a time, then remove and clean the file, irrigate, and recapitulate with a size 010 hand file.
- Use gentle inward pressure and a brushing motion on the outstroke to pre-enlarge the coronal two-thirds of the canal.
- Continue shaping to full working length in one or more passes while avoiding over-enlargement of the foramen.
- Inspect the file’s cutting flutes regularly during use.
6. Management of Restrictive Canals
- If the PRIMARY file does not progress, use a size 010 hand file to negotiate the canal until loose at working length.
- Use the SMALL WaveOne® Gold file (020/07 Yellow) to working length if required, then return to the PRIMARY file to optimize canal shaping.
- Confirm working length, patency, and glide path throughout the procedure.
7. Irrigation Protocol
- Irrigate abundantly and frequently after removing any WaveOne® Gold Glider or shaping file.
- If a file does not advance easily, remove it, clean and inspect the flutes, irrigate, recapitulate with a size 010 file, and re-irrigate.
8. Final Preparation
- Once the desired canal shape is achieved and confirmed, proceed with standard 3-dimensional disinfection protocols.
